While there’s never a good age to get cancer, people in their 20s and 30s can feel particularly isolated. The average age of a cancer patient at diagnosis is 67. Children with cancer often are treated at pediatric cancer centers, but young adults have a tough time finding peer, often sitting side-by-side during treatments with people who could be their grandparents.
In her new book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips, writer Kris Carr looks at cancer from the perspective of a young adult who confronts death just as she’s discovering life. Ms. Carr was 31 when she was diagnosed with a rate form of cancer that had generated tumors on her liver and lungs.
Ms. Carr reacted with the normal feelings of shock and sadness. She called her parents and stocked up on organic food, determined to become a "full-time healing addict". Then she picked up the phone and called everyone in her address book, asking if they knew other young women with cancer. The result was her personal "cancer posse": a rock concert tour manager, a model, a fashion magazine editor, a cartoonist and a MTV celebrity, to name a few. This club of "cancer babes" offered support, advice, and fashion tips, among other things.
Ms. Carr put her cancer experience in a recent Learning Channel documentary, and she has written a practical guide about how she coped. Cancer isn’t funny, but Ms. Carr often is. She swears, she makes up names for the people who treat her(Dr. Fabulous and Dr. Guru), and she calls them.
She leaves the medical advice to doctors, instead offering insightful and practical tips that reflect the world view of a young adult. "I refused to let cancer ruin my party," she writes. "There are just too many cooling things to do and plan and live for." Ms. Carr still has cancer, but it has stopped progressing. Her cancer tips include using time-saving mass e-mails to keep friends informed, sewing or buying fashionable hospital gowns so you’re not stuck with regulation blue or gray and playing Gloria Gaynor’s "I Will Survive" so loud your neighbors call the police. Ms Can-also advises an eyebrow wax and a new outfit before you tell the important people in your life about your illness. "People you tell are going to cautiously and not so cautiously try to see the cancer, so dazzle them instead with your miracle, " she writes.
While her advice may sound superficial, it gets to her heart of what every cancer patient wants the chance to live life just as she always did, and maybe better.
Kris Carr makes up names for the people who treat her because______
选项
A、she is depressed and likes swearing.
B、she is funny and likes playing jokes on doctors.
C、she wants to leave the medical advice to doctors.
D、she tries to leave a good impression on doctors.
答案
B
解析
本题的信息点是Kris Carr makes up names for the people who treat her“Kris Carr 给所有救治她的人起外号”,要解答本题我们先要在文中阅读查找该信息,然后认真研读信息点所在的句子,理解是否有原因。如果信息点所在句子没有表述原因,那么原因就会在下一句或上一句。我们在阅读查找时在文章第四段最后一句看到该信息,但是该句子并没有给出原因,于是回到上一句:Cancer isn’t funny,but Ms.Carr often is.“癌症不好玩,但是Kris Carr女士却常常很有趣。”由此看来她给人取外号的原因是她的乐观,因此本题答案是B。其他选项文中均未提及。
